I ordered takeout, and arrived to an empty place, though it was starting to liven up even after my short wait. They had an intriguing menu. I got some chickpeas and fried bread, dumplings, and a dal makhani. The flavors were abundant, but I also found the salt and oil a bit too abundant, even by restaurant standards. My bread, while delicious, wasn't quite enough for the chickpeas, which had a dynamic fruity and spicy gravy. I struggled a little bit more with the salt of my jhol momo, and the dal was a bit too indulgent to eat at once. I don't want to say it was bad food, because it wasn't, but I felt a little unwell after eating it, even having spread this out for several days of meals during my travels. There's a lot of Indian restaurants in the outskirts of Richmond and I've had better experiences. read more

First time visiting here and we were very happy we came! To begin with, the interior is nicely upscale, clean and inviting. The menu was a delight, as it contains Himalayan dishes and other options not normally served in standard Indian restaurants. I had the Chilly Momo and was surprised when the spice level was appropriate for the level described (in my case over the top). I loved it, but my wife said her mouth was on fire from just a taste. She had the shrimp Pista Korma. Milder spice level, but a delicious sauce that I would order again. The rice was perfectly cooked, light and fluffy (as opposed to clumps sticking together). Complimentary pappadums were a nice addition, and mango juice assuaged my wife's still spiced palate. Definitely worth a try - we'll be back! read more

Absolutely love this place! From the moment you walk in (which can seem intimidating from the darkened windows), you're greeted very nicely & quickly. I've tried the Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, & Chicken Tandoori. All perfectly seasoned and creamy. Additionally, the naan is SO yummy. Really enjoy the garlic and now the cheese one! Lastly, I tried the Desi Pazookie this time for dessert (since usually I'm leaving with leftovers) & it was delicious! Definitely a staple for my family every couple of months. read more

White Tiger is another great option for Indian food in the area. The restaurant is a bit quaint and part of a little strip mall so they have parking spots surrounding the building. The service was attentive. All the food we had was delicious. The chilly momo were actually spicy for those that enjoy spicy foods. Our only gripe was that the music was loud inside. read more

The service was spectacular providing pappadum chips as a treat for us to nibble on, but pappadums are my favorite so I devoured it. Hubby enjoyed spicy momos allowing me to take a taste. So spicy but I 'm not a Spice Girl. He had ordered it as extra spicy. I asked the server what I could order that wasn't spicy and his suggestion was spot on. Enjoyed every bite of the Pista Korma choosing Shrimp. Eaten with the perfect rice was divine. The restaurant was so well decorated and clean proving comfy chairs which allowed us to enjoy our meals. Afterwards I ordered Mango juice just to enjoy the ambiance more. We will definitely return! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The momo was flavorful, and perfectly steamed. But the real star? The Kurkurey momo. So unique crispy on the outside, packed with flavor inside.Super family-friendly too. For kids, the fresh chicken nuggets and fries were a huge hit hot, crispy, and not greasy at all. The mango lassi gets a special shout-out officially 8-year-old approved. And the Gilo Chatpatey... wow. One bite instantly transported me back to the streets of Nepal.This restaurant was giving Nepali street food vibes with something for everyone in the family, Already planning our next trip back! read more

This place has good Nepali momo with vegetarian options. However I have given low rating because the service was very poor. The waitress was clearly not equipped to handle a large group, she was unable to take orders, imposed strict ordering guidelines, and was slow to bring out food. Additionally we were charged extra for use of the party room- though when we reserved it there was no charge mentioned. They also charged extra for large group (calling it tip) but then requested extra tip from the group- citing the extra tip goes to the management, not the wait staff. read more

Excellent service, good vibe, comfy couches, cushions and decor. Now to the great stuff--such a diverse menu. The "chips" and dip were tasty while we ordered from the menu. We ordered the muhgali dish with chicken and the veggie mono dumplings. Nice pour of wine from a very nice bar area. Will return if in the area read more

Ok I rarely give a 5 star to any restaurant but this one sure deserved it! We had the vegetarian chow mein, vegetarian jhol momo, and vegetarian kothey momo with mango lassi and salty lassi. All of it was mouth watering delicious! The Jhol momos were our favorite. The service was really good, the ambiance was amazing - friendly staff and service was very quick as well! I am so glad we found an amazing momo spot and are sure coming back! I definitely recommend this place 100% read more

Update: still great, but when we came back we found out the previous dish (veggie koram) is not vegan, so I went with the mixed vegetable curry and okra this time. The roti smelled like it might have had butter/ghee on it this time so we didn't eat it even though we ordered it, so just be careful if you eat here and double-check with waitstaff. read more

Tried this place for the first time on a Friday night and was not disappointed. There is some parking around the building, so I doubt there would be an issue finding a spot ever. On first impression, the decor and vibe is really nice, makes it feel intimate and upscale. Seating is also very comfy. The food: I ordered vegetable "koram" from the menu which should actually read korma, and I got it medium spicy. Vegetarian dishes come with rice included, though not noted on the menu. I also shared garlic naan with my husband, at first I thought it might be too garlicky, but with food it was perfect. I even had a full meal worth of leftovers. This is probably my new favorite Indian place in the area. read more

I got the garlic naan, butter chicken, and vindaloo. All were amazing and full of flavor. The naan was especially fresh and soft, and paired so well with the curries. I got the desi pizookie for dessert and it interesting, but I wasn't a big fan of the red syrup and it wasn't as sweet as I expected. The environment is super calming and the service was great and attentive. A little on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality of the food! read more

I am very excited to have a new Indian restaurant in the near west end! White Tiger just opened, and if they maintain the quality food and high level of service, I'm sure they will be a success. We were greeted and seated right away. Interior is welcoming. Tables are spaced nicely. Everything we tried was delicious (see below and in pictures) Good portion sizes. Excellent flavors Side note, I loved the black silverware and fun bowls) What we ate: Naan- butter and garlic Muligatawny soup: Indian blend of vegetables lentils and spices Tandoori Chicken: Spiced chicken marinated and roasted. Paneer Pasadena: paneer cheese, stuffed and fried, served in creamy, nutty tomato sauce Gaja ka halwa: Indian Carrot Pudding that is made with carrots, milk, sugar, ghee, cardamom, and nuts My rating rationale  +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Only opened 10 days so we had to check it out. They did not disappoint! Excellent service, food and atmosphere. When we arrived we were greeted immediately and told to sit wherever we like. We sat at a table for 2 but the waiter moved us to a bigger table once he saw that we ordered a lot of foods. They provided bowls of complimentary mulligatawny soup which was the best I've ever tasted. The paneer dish and the tandoori chicken were both perfect. They asked what spice level from 1-5 would be like. We requested that the paneer be a one and the chicken to be a 3. They were perfectly spiced based on our requests. We were pampered with attention and was offered free desserts. A sweet dish I've never tasted before called Gajar ka Halwa served warm. A tasty sweet carrot pudding with crushed pistachios. The restaurant is newly opened and renovated so it's very fresh and clean. There's a good amount of parking in the strip mall. A wonderful experience and we will be back. read more

First time here! Hands down best Indian food in RVA. Ordered garlic naan, chicken biryani, butter chicken, chicken saag, samosa chaat, chicken 65. Absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and flavorful. Portions were enough; we had to take most of the food home! Just as important, this place is cleeeaaannn, including the bowls and utensils (and restroom). Service was wonderful, so professional and attentive. We will be back to try the long list of lamb and vegetarian dishes! Of note, we came with my dad who is physically limited with walking- entrance was easy to navigate and booths are accommodating! This made our experience that much better! read more

An unassuming restaurant in a shopping strip, White Tiger has set a high bar of excellence with their delicious cuisine! Our party did not really know what to expect and were wowed by the quality of flavors, and friendly service. Everything tasted so fresh and was perfectly executed. The pani puri were served in a playful way with shots of the pani. The puri were light and perfectly crispy with a tangy punch of flavor. The steamed momos were just beautiful with a delicate wrapper and tasty chicken or veg filling. The lamb chops could be better.. the flavor was good but the meat was overdone while the spice rub was undercooked. The star of the evening was the chicken.. biriyani.... by far the best biriyani I have had at any restaurant in Richmond... absolute perfection!! We finished with a well executed rasmalai for dessert. Thank you to Suraj and Joban for the friendly service and hats off to the kitchen for the delightful cuisine. read more

I love trying different Indian restaurants throughout the city. This is very good! You want your Indian food spicy. The "medium" spice here is the perfect amount of taste and seasoning without your mouth being uncomfortably on fire. The vegetable pakoras had just enough filling inside and crispiness outside. The paneer tikka masala had a perfect consistency and was so creamy.The takeout portions will last me another few days. read more

Ordered out, food was excellent, best Indian/nepali food in the area. Highly recommend the chicken vindaloo and chicken 65

let me start by saying that we thoroughly enjoyed the food at White tiger. I have been here several times and when it was time to make a decision regarding our gathering I was the one who recommended this restaurant. We were a large group (almost 20 people) and while making the reservations requested if we could have our table set in the back room so as not to disturb other guests. My comlpaint with them was due to the fact that they never informed us at the time of making the reservation that there would be a per hour charge of $50 for that space. Even when we arrived the manager neglected to mention this fact to us otherwise we would have requested to be seated in the regular dining space. It was only after we were more than 2/3 of the way through our dinner that our server mentioned this detail to us. I don't see why we should have had to pay this hourly charge when this information was never given to us (which the manager also acknowledged). I think the restaurant should do better in giving this kind of information to customers specially if they want repeat business. read more

I had supper here last night. I was greeted quickly and seated. I had the chicken Rogan Josh medium spiced. Perfect heat that did not cover up the great spices. The garlic naan was a great accompaniment! Had half and had the rest today. Perfect. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

Superb food, drink and atmosphere. I often go there for lunch and Simran is there with a smile and greeting. Love the bar phone. The Marsala fries are memorable. What ever I order is always a treat. I have an American palette (spices are salt and pepper) and love to explore the spiced food and interesting combinations of foods served. One visit and you are hooked on a distant culture's healthy food. read more

The restaurant was clean and romantic. The food was delicious and served in large portions. We had leftovers of everything to take home and only ate about half of what was served. My boyfriend had two beers recommended by our excellent bartender Joban. He was so accommodating. I ordered a margarita which was too sour for my taste and he sweetened it up for me at no extra charge. Our server was Suraj who was very soft spoken but never let our glasses go dry and had great timing. Overall we had a great date night and we will come back for more authentic Indian cuisine. read more

So let me start by saying this restaurant gives you the entire Indian experience. It's authentic all the way down extreme heat...due to the broken AC. Went with a group for a birthday and it was hot hot hot. 95 degrees outside on June 22. And probably the same inside. I'm not sure if the ac was broken, or just off as the staff didn't seem bothered by it. On to the staff, the wait staff was very attentive and nice. And the decor was quite nice, a great date spot. For the food. The food was amazing. I am not the biggest Indian food fan, honestly it was my 3rd time trying it.... But the food was out of this world. The lamb biryani the portion was great. Had more than enough to take home too. The garlic naan was good. But to be honest Trader Joe's garlic naan was just as good. Not a diss to the restaurant. As it is amazing. More of a if you have had the traders joes you know what you are in for. The main reason for the 3 stars and not the 5. Was the missing ac. Will be back to give it another go. And will update at that time. Did not take a picture. But the food was nice presentation as well. read more

Me and my friend were really exited when we heard that they sell MOMOS When we get there the first thing we ordered was chicken momos and I was told there was none. Then I talked to the server that I met before he mentioned there was only 1 plate left and we were like Okay fine, we got that one plate and when we got the momos it was the worst momo we have ever had. We decided to get chicken chow mein and we got the veggie chow mein instead we told them to fix it but they took the chow mein back and just added pieces of tandoori chicken along with cilantro. It was so disappointing If you know the what the achar looks like for momo this is what I got. Very disappointed but the manager was good and he tried his best to fix it. read more

First time ever trying Indian food this past Friday and I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan and I could almost cry at how delicious it was. Reminded almost of a pollo guisado except creamier, thicker, spicier and just soooo good. 10/10 will be going back. Ambiance was also cozy and dark and had a lit candle at each table. Very much a vibe for a romantic date. read more

Nice ambiance and songs... starters were really good. Paneer was a lil bland, but not very bad. Service was fast .

My family and I dined at White Tiger (on a Tuesday evening at 7.45pm), to celebrate my Mom's 65th birthday, and it did not disappoint! The food was delectable- we had fried chicken momos, aloo tikki chaat, chicken vindaloo, malai kofta and of course naan, including keema naan. Every morsel was succulent. Personally my favorite was the malai kofta. My husband and Dad also got cocktails and those were on par, as well. My Mom said her mango lassi was the best she has ever had. Our server (shoutout to Suraj), provided absolutely amazing service. He was apparently the only server and the whole dining area was full - he was also host and busser, and yet provided quick service with a smile. His exuberant demeanor was infectious! He helped accommodate my almost-5month old with seating, and even provided us with a surprise gajar halva "cake" on the house when he found out it was my Mom's birthday. We will be back to try other dishes on the menu that looked super tempting. They had all the regular dishes you may see on an Indian restaurant menu, plus some not-so-regular items, which was a great plus for me. Overall, a fantastic experience- highly recommend! read more

-We had made a reservation for 5pm on a weekday (NOBODY was in there!) The guy gave us a hard time about being seated and looked very confused. We almost walked out, but he miraculously made a table for us in the empty restaurant! -I really wanted a cocktail but was a bit hesitant and turned off. They were pricey and the server could not answer any of our questions. I settled for a Corona and it came in a glass and was barely cold. When I asked for a lime he looked like I had 3 heads "we dont have limes"...(well what do they make the cocktails with that had the description of limes in them?) -The place was cute and would be a great date night place if you like Indian food. Ample parking around establishment. Attatched to a massage parlor and there were several of their staff out there smoking ... -Food was pretty good and my friend's shrimp dish was a hit (she doesnt like Indian food, but really liked hers) -Service turned out to be very attentive and my impression was pleasantly changed after our meal. -I'll give it another try....just wish they would drop the prices of their alcohol-including wine prices. They could make so much more money if they did! read more
